Have a BMW E82 1 series and wish it looked like a 1M? Prior Design has you covered with their 1M look body kit

Many 1 series owners would like to get a 1M but it likely does not make sense to trade their car in and spend a bunch more money in the process. Especially considering the 1M really is just a 135i with some new body work, M3 pieces, and a slightly more aggressive tune (go ahead, flame away 1M owners but it's the truth). A better option for many rather than picking up a new car payment may be to grab this body kit, get a tune, exhaust, a limited slip differential, and look just as good and be faster than the new 1M. Definitely something to consider since that is basically what BMW did anyway.

I think it looks awesome, but not really worth the money.
Also, the car in the pictures looks like a real 1M. Judging by the brakes at least. Those are 1M, not 135i.
That being said, I would love to be able to use wider tires on my car.

Exactly, getting the parts yourself will cost more than a 1M (thats exhaust, LSD, M-bits, body, paint) not to mention labor.

Great for those that want it but its better to start at the 1M and work your way up, just my 2 cents.

I had to go outside to find this
The joy of keyless. I have never ever had to open the trunk with a key.
But you are right, on the right side under the 135i letters next to the number plate lights there is a lock for the trunk.

Keyless is cool when you have power.

No power and a shut trunk, without a key slot? ... gotta "jump" the car to pop the trunk. :/ (learned from working on the 1M here at cp-e )

Do you have a used 135i? Paid off 135i? Trading a car in that's used for a new 1M won't be cheaper.

I understand for certain people that are willing to keep the car till death do them apart, it will be a great project, but just not for someone that recently bought a 135 and is wanting to go that route, that's all; to each his own, though.

If it's brand new of course not but many guys have paid off their 135's by now (at least I hope so).

So I'm kinda interested in this kit, maybe one day I'll grab it. Anyways, I just looked in their website and it looks like they lowered the cost to 2999,00 € which is $3854.99, not bad I would say for those interested. Here is the link: http://www.prior-design.de/bmw_1series_pdm1-wb/
